In order to check the regional geology for earthquake danger one should view fault and hazard maps of the area. A fault map shows the distribution of faults or fault zones in an area. A fault is a crack in the earth's surface along which movement occurs.

Hazard maps take into consideration the historic occurrences of earthquakes in the region and shows the probability of likely earthquakes in the region.
the actual building site can be assessed by using a soils map. Different soils react in different ways to seismic waves. The amplitude of seismic waves are either amplified or suppressed depending on the
type of soil or bedrock.
Homes showing signs of susceptibility to earthquakes often have cracks in the structure. These can be caused by minor quakes.

1. Key Concept What are<br> dominant and recessive alleles?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

A dominant allele is a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles. A dominant allele typically encodes for a functioning protein. ... When a dominant allele is completely dominant over another allele, the other allele is known as recessive.

A recessive allele is a variety of genetic code that does not create a phenotype if a dominant allele is present. ... A heterozygous individual will appear the same as a homozygous dominant individual. This means that an organisms with two dominant alleles appear the same as an organism with only one functioning allele.

lawyer [7]

Bats and birds are unrelated animals, yet they both evolved wings. by acquiring similar traits (i.e., wings) as they adapted to similar environments, these species exhibit convergent evolution through analogy present between the wings. Convergent evolution happens when two distantly related organisms acquire the similar traits in response to the similar habitat or niche.
